Using the 3 Tbsp of sesame oil is what makes this recipe work. I ended up also buying a bag of mized frozen vegetables, heated them up in boiling water, and then drained them. Used all shrimp and if I did this over, I would use 2 eggs vs 1. It's still not as good as the fried rice I've had in China (their's is super light and fluffy), but this recipe is my go to in the US.

This recipe is great and very easy to customize. Usually, I use all chicken for the meat portion and for the veggies I add a 16 oz. bag of shredded cabbage and carrots with the onion, garlic, celery and green pepper. I also use 2 eggs instead of 1 and jasmine rice. This has become a family favorite over the past year. Once I made a double batch, but beware if you try to double it: you need a really big pot to stir the rice and veggies together at the end! The only seasoning I add is black pepper when I cook the veggies. As good or better than what you could order in a restaurant!

What a great way to use the random leftovers in the fridge! I happened to have shrimp and (fake) lobster from another recipe so I threw it in with some chopped broccoli, peppers, onions, carrots, and peas and it was awesome! This is definitely a five star recipe because it is so easy and flexible:)

We loved this rice. I can't wait to make it again during garden season, throwing in whatever veggies we'll have on hand.

Absolutely amazing! I used low sodium soy sauce and grated the carrots instead of chopping. Also, make sure you chop up the chicken, shrimp and ham into very small pieces. That way you get a little of everything in each bite! I followed the suggestion of other reviewers and made sure the rice was cold before mixing in the other ingredients. This recipe was really unbelievable! Make it!

Woo Hoo! I finally found a fried rice recipe I like. This is perfect for leftover meats. I add some sesame seeds towards the end for a little extra flavor. I really like A LOT of scrambled egg in my fried rice so I think next time I'll add at least 3. I used 2 and it didn't seem like enough. Customize this recipe to your hearts content!

This was wonderful. I used cold rice and added a few dashes of fish sauce and a sprinkling of sugar. It was kind of a cross between this recipe and the fried rice with cilantro recipe. Yummy!

This was soo easy and fast! We order out alot, and almost never use the white rice that comes with the meals, so I used that instead of cooking some. I also made it with just the onions, garlic, and peas & eggs. It came out GREAT! it only took a few minutes and my husband who is so pickey with everything liked it! Thanks!

This is better than restaurant fried rice! I have made this a couple of times. I always use smoked pork in place of ham (personally it tastes more authentic that way). Also, I love soy sauce so I use waaaay more than the recipe calls for. I have served this to friends and always get great reviews .. the last one was, "This is better than the Chinese store!" Yes, he actually said "store." I have used fresh cooked and leftove rice (jasmine), but didn't notice a difference. I also add a little green onion.

As some others have said, this is a very good base. I followed the recipe (leaving out the ham) and then used the sauce recipe from Broccoli with Garlic Butter and Cashews (leaving out the cashews). The different sauce was just what this recipe needed to give it a little pizazz. Also, using leftover rice will fry up much nicer.

Great recipe - very easy. Like some have suggested, use day old, chilled rice if you can (I just chilled mine for 6 hours or so). I used a combination of peanut oil and sesame oil for an added nutty flavor for the onions and garlic, added chopped up water chestnuts with the carrots and peppers (only used 1/2 pepper so as not to over power) and at the very end, stirred in some bean sprouts - a very worth while addition in my opinion. Also, before adding those sprouts, add a tablespoon or two more sesame oil just for flavor as sesame oil works well as a flavor oil and less so for frying/saute'. This recipe tasted better the next day and my 11 year old daughter loved it as well, a great endorsement.

I'm still searching for a way to get restaurant-style fried rice at home. This wasn't it. This recipe is totally bland and flavorless. I usually don't change a recipe the first time I make it, but I wish I'd added ginger and rosemary. There was one positive thing I got from this recipe, and that was using day old rice. It got the texture one step closer. But still, this needs flavor.
